Death Stranding 2: On the Beachcontinues in the same vein as its predecessor. Sam Porter Bridges is tasked with adding new territories to the Chiral Network, and in doing so, can request the help of other porters around the world. Those porters are other players, and at times, they’ll need your help. Players can choose to create Aid Requests asking for weapons, items, materials, or even support defeating enemies in the game. But how does the system work? Here’s everything players need to know todonate items and weapons for Aid Requests inDeath Stranding 2.
Aid Requests can be found throughout the world and will appear in the game as circles on the ground with a label attached, floating in the air. These labels will inform you of the player’s identity and the request they’re making. These will appear in the same place in other players' worlds as in the requesters.
How to Send Items and Weapons for Aid Requests in Death Stranding 2
Be a Good Samaritan
To complete an Aid Request, players must drop the requested type of items (or weapons) into the circle that the Aid Request makes on the floor. Once this is done, a button prompt should appear on the screen for players to press Square to ‘Send Cargo.’
If the option to ‘Send Cargo’ doesn’t appear, make sure that the items are within the circle outline on the ground. If you’re trying to send a weapon with no ammo,used items, or the incorrect type of item for the request, you won’t be able to send it.
After pressing ‘Send Cargo,’ the ground surrounding Sam will turn to tar, and a ghost-like version of Sam will come through the ground, grab the requested item, give players a thumbs up, and disappear back into the ground. Completing Aid Requests from other players will reward you with100 Likes, which will then contribute towards improving your Bridge Link score, which is tied to your Porter Grade.
It’s worth noting that any items players use to complete an Aid Request will no longer be in their inventory. As such, it’s recommended that players avoid donating any of their best items or weapons if they don’t have the materials to fabricate new versions.
How to Create Aid Requests in Death Stranding 2
It’s Ok to Ask for Help
If players find themselves in a pinch, they can create their own Aid Request by pressing down on the d-pad to open the ‘Signs’ options. From here, select the bottom right ‘Online Aid Requests’ option on the wheel that appears, and cycle through the different options until they find the item/weapon request they want. All request options are listed below:
After confirming their choice, players can place the Aid Request on the ground and wait for other players to fulfill it. There is no guarantee that other players will complete your Aid Request however, so if you’re really in a pinch, it might be worthbacktracking to a facilityto fabricate whatever it is that you need.
Players can’t create Aid Requests for vehicles. As such, it’s important to regularly recharge vehicles at generators or facilities before embarking on a lengthy adventure.
